Serie A rivals Napoli and Premier League giants Manchester United have reached an agreement on the transfer of Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, according to renowned journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic. The deal, which has a transfer fee of around €30 million, marks the imminent start of the United midfield general's Serie A journey.
David Ornstein further noted that the completion of the deal also depends on all parties being satisfied with the player's personal terms. It appears that the two sides have now agreed on the core issue of the transfer fee, with United also retaining a split clause on McTominay's future secondary transfers to ensure that the club's interest in the player's future transfers is safeguarded.
Meanwhile, renowned transfer expert Romano has followed up on the story, confirming that Napoli are close to completing a deal for McTominay and emphasizing that the deal is separate from the negotiations for another player, Gilmour, and that the two are not directly related. This news further confirms the authenticity of McTominay's transfer to Napoli and rules out other potential distractions.
Manchester United, for their part, have launched in-depth negotiations with the player's side over personal terms after accepting a new offer of over €30 million. These negotiations are said to be in their final stages, signaling that the deal is about to be formalized. For United, the departure of McTominay will bring the team a considerable amount of transfer income, but also provide financial support for the team to find new recruits in the transfer market.
For Napoli, the addition of McTominay will undoubtedly strengthen the team's midfield. As a skillful and solid defensive midfielder, McTominay's arrival will inject new energy into Napoli's offense and defense. In addition, his Premier League experience will also provide valuable help to the team in European matches.
